Stagnito Communications acquires Food Safety Summit.
Deerfield, Ill.-based
Stagnito Communications Inc., an Ascend Media Company, has purchased the
Food Safety Summit from Eaton Hall Exhibitions, Florham Park, N.J. The Food
Safety Summit is North America’s biggest and most established trade
show and conference program serving retailers, processors, foodservice
professionals and government personnel who are involved in food safety,
quality assurance and food security. The 2006 Food Safety Summit is
scheduled for March 22 to 24 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, Las Vegas.
“Protecting the safety and integrity of our food
supply is one of the most critical issues confronting the industry,”
says company president Harry Stagnito. “Every year the Food Safety
Summit provides an outstanding forum to discuss solutions and bring buyers
and sellers together. We’re thrilled to be attached to this important
event.”
Scott Goldman, president of Eaton Hall Exhibitions and
founder of the Summit, says Stagnito was ideally suited to purchase the
show, “as the largest information provider to the food, beverage and
packaging industry.”
The Summit will also get hundreds of new attendees
with its arrangement to overlap exhibits with SNAXPO®, the world’s
largest expo for the snack food industry, sponsored by the Snack Food
Association. The two shows will be held simultaneously on March 22, and
attendees will be able to visit both expos with one badge.
Prospective new attendees include food plant managers,
directors of manufacturing, operations, food safety and quality from firms
like Kraft, Frito-Lay, Pepperidge Farm and hundreds more nationwide.
The Snack Food Association will be sharing sessions
and speakers, as well as the expo floor, with this year’s show. The
American Institute of Food Distribution and the Food Institute will be
supporting the show, plus other associations from meat, poultry and other
sectors. Plus, 18 industry publications in meat, dairy, baking, snack,
frozen, beverage and others will keep the Summit the largest, most
inclusive event in the field.
Topics to be discussed in daily sessions include rules
for sanitary equipment and plant design, eliminating recalls and reducing
cost, ensuring laboratory quality, evaluating ingredients and purveyors,
advanced HACCP, facility design for food foodservice safety, a CFP preview
and much more.
